China prohibits participation of Tibetan students for religious programs

China has banned the participation of students in religious programs during the summer holidays in Tibet Autonomous Region. In China, the official communiqu of the ruling Communist Party, Global Times, has conveyed this information with an education officer from Lhasa.

The official said that an agreement has been signed with the students in this regard. He is following this rule in the care of his parents and teachers.

It is believed that China has done this step to strictly increase the Himalayan region of Buddhism. He considers Tibet’s spiritual teacher Dalai Lama as separatist and wants to end their influence.

The Dalai Lama, exiled from Tibet, is living in India. China claims that Tibet is part of it for the past seven centuries. While Tibetans say that before 1950 it was free. China has increased the presence of its army there for the last several years to establish its control over the region.
